Description of the 12th US Congressional District: (Taken from the website district description)
A very diverse, cosmopolitan and in many ways eclectic district which is the states most urban, the North Carolina 12th Congressional District includes the counties of Cabarrus, Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, Mecklenburg and Rowan. Since its inception, the boundaries of the 12th District have been tinkered with and challenged; however, the US Supreme Court in 2001 upheld their constitutionality and hopefully they will be stable until the 2010 census. Of the people in the area, the richness of its ethnic diversity (47% white/Caucasian, 45% black/African American, 7% Hispanic/Latino and 2% Asian) and economic enrichment reflect the bounty of opportunities, which are second to none.
This area encompasses a world-class financial center housing the corporate offices of Bank of America and Wachovia. There are over ten colleges and universities within its boundaries including four Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Major work on fiber optics is being done and health care is the areas leading employer.

Percentage of Democrat, Republican and Unaffiliated:
The numbers initially reflected a decided democrat advantage but now reflects a registered voter percentage I am told of 60% Democratic, 30% Republican and 10% Unaffiliated; however the voting increasingly reflects a more balanced percentage of 55% Democrat, 35%

Short Answer

My campaign has unequivocally answered the question of illegal immigration:
The May 1, 2006 North Carolina Conservative paper has my interview and has run two articles with my comments including Clash In Brown and Black and several other notations of my opposition to illegal immigration (which are also featured on my website). My website, DrAdaMFisher.org has two sections which discuss the issue under issues and in the Fisher Rx Archives. This weeks Fisher Rx is a clip talking about the death and devastation currently being experienced due to illegal immigrant behavior. My campaign ads also hammer my opposition to
Illegal immigration, which I perceive as the biggest threat to our internal domestic security.

What do you feel your opponent’s stance of illegal immigration?
I have described my opponent as an illegal aliens best friend. Congressman Melvin Watt has consistently stood against major efforts, which impact our ability to control illegal immigration. He “. . .has opposed deporting illegal aliens who have committed crimes as well as funding for border patrols.” (5/1/06 NC Conservative Newspaper, p.7) In addition, one of the hang ups in passing an extension of “The Voting Rights Act was Watt’s manipulations to allow people to vote in their native language and make accommodations to those not speaking English which burdens the system and cost more than this nation should have to bear.

Have you been endorsed by or received contributions from any other immigration reform or illegal immigration reduction groups at this time?
The Alamo Alliance made a short film clip which has my name on it describing the impact of illegal immigrants criminal behavior on this nation.

Candidate Pledge

I, Dr. Ada M. Fisher, hereby pledge to stand with the American public to have the US Border secured and existing immigration laws enforced with the intention of reducing the number of illegal aliens entering and remaining in the US. I understand that the vast majority of Americans want the border secured, taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens ended, local police helping to enforce immigration laws, and employers that hire, aid and abet illegal aliens to be charged.

Furthermore, I will not support any trade agreement or Executive Branch treaty that compromises our ability to enforce our existing immigration laws and threatens US sovereignty.

4-Alipac Candidates Questions – Dr. Ada M. Fisher

I will actively oppose any attempt to remove or replace the current laws that say illegal aliens are to be deported with a guest worker or temporary worker program that allows illegal aliens to stay or quickly return to the US.
